IFA: 3D or Bust for Philips with 3D TVs and Shavers

As journalists, we get access to manufacturers' stands at the IFA trade fair before it opens its doors to the general public. After being turned away from the Panasonic and Samsung stands (which weren't ready yet), the nice people on the Philips stand let us have a snoop around.

There's no mistaking the fact that Philips has got high hopes for 3D technology: check out that huge logo right in the middle of the stand!


The products on display also reflect this, with a stand displaying 21:9-format 3D TVs (with glasses, obviously).


From our very brief glimpse of it in action, we have to say the results were a bit of a mixed bag. Three dimensional images sometimes look they'd been split up, which isn't great, but that's just a first impression. We'll have to test one of these TVs fully before we can tell you more.

3D TVs and ... shavers!

It seems that Philips' electric shavers have now gone 3D too. Although locked away in a display cabinet, we did spot several '3D' SenseoTouch models. We'll be reviewing a couple of them very soon too, as part of a brand new product category.
